Here to learn and share what I've learned, but -- knowing me -- probably man(1)-splaining. Please tell me when that's the case.

I also wonder how screen brightness relates to to "dark mode" use/preference. It's amazing how little brightness you need to read black text on a white background under bright lights, but that is not the case for white text on black. For LCD displays, not OLED, but I suspect LCD is still far prevalent.

While the city I live in has reliable cell service for most providers, I live in a rural state. Most of the state does _not_ have reliable cell service or — where it does — it may only be a single carrier.
Is that part of the reason this particular bank company has closed a lot of the more rural branches? Doubtful, but it probably doesn't help the organization's understanding of the technological problems of a rural state, with an aging and increasingly-poorer population.

Very cool! What brand?
I use a large Nite Ize SpotLit(?) for my Tamaskan. This time of year, it's on the rainbow cycle by mid-afternoon in case he ever got away from us. He looks _far_ too wolf-like to be running around alone, especially since even his safety-orange harness disappears into his fur. :(

Thank you for sharing this, it is a very good summary!
I pulled my #CrossCountrySkis out of storage a few weeks ago for the first time in _many_ years. Mine are a set of #wood #Kongsberg #Langrenn skis. Unlike modern skis, they require — in addition to pine-tarring & waxing — very cold #snow temperatures & fresh powder. I usually prefer air temps below 10°F to ensure the snow temperature is well below freezing so they don't absorb moisture and stick. Increasingly rare occurences

Wait, is this what an MBA sees when they look at a sunset?!
